Caringbah South Greenhills Beach

Caringbah South and Greenhills Beach are neighbouring areas with very different profiles. Greenhills Beach is a wealthy enclave where the typical weekly household income is $4,704, far higher than the $2,721 seen in Caringbah South. It is also a younger area, with only 5.7% of people aged 65 and over, compared to 19.7% in Caringbah South. While Caringbah South is very walkable and has many residents who own their homes outright (46.6%), Greenhills Beach is composed entirely of separate houses and has a much higher share of people with mortgages.

Both areas sit near the national figure for the share of people with no religion, at around 32%. They also share a similar profile in terms of their First Nations populations and very low unemployment rates. However, they are diverging in other ways; since 2011, the gap in the number of people who have moved in the last five years has widened, with 56.1% of Greenhills Beach residents being new arrivals compared to 32.9% in Caringbah South.
